Janice Provost

Janice Provost is the Proprietor of Parigi, a 40 year old restaurant in Dallas, Texas. Her path to cooking professionally began in 1998 when she began her first kitchen job at Parigi, and three years later bought the neighborhood bistro.

Growing up on a small farm in Houston influenced Janice’s philosophy as a chef. A pioneer in the local food movement, she loves growing many of her own herbs and edible flowers to use in her cooking, and she has been a supporter of local farmers and ranchers since becoming a chef.

A self-proclaimed Francophile, Janice enjoys traveling to France whenever possible. She and her husband love to shop the local markets, and enjoy cooking in “their apartment” in Paris. They also enjoy the multicultural cuisine for which Paris is known, and many of these dishes find their way back to the menu at Parigi.
